    What photo do you have on the net, be it flickr, pix.ie or whatever that has received an unusually high amount of views. I've always found it odd that the picture below of Spaghetti Carbonara has received nearly 600 views, someone even put it into their favourites.

    So what oddities do you have that people seem to find interesting.

    Well, mine is also of a female, and she's not showing anything... although yes, I agree, she's bearing quite a lot of flesh. I've nearly deleted it a lot of times as it's one of my least favourite on my stream, but it's part of some of the protest groups so I've refrained from doing so yet.

    Nobody has counted it as a favorite, yet 2134 views so far. From the London naked bike ride:

    My biggest hitter on pix.ie that got me a TOTD award !

    Ah but this thread isn't about your most viewed image, it's about your most viewed unusual image.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,713 ✭✭✭DaireQuinlan


    For some reason this one gets a steady trickle of views. Always from Yahoo though, never from Google. Apparently people always search for trilobites on Yahoo :confused::confused:

    This one has just under 1,000 views on flickr & while it's not my most viewed image it did seem to get a lot of referrals from a German shoe forum...

    No idea why this one has had so many hits. I don't even like it.
    I took it for my daughter who is a massive Disney Princess fan on our last trip to Disney.

    This gets hits regularily from google and also the Extreme fan website where it was linked to during a discussion on Nuno Bettencourts equipment. I dont put my pics into loads of groups so it has just 316 views but gets viewed regularily.

    Handy to know that you have fans though Richard O' Toole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,742 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    thats a very high viewership Homerun - somepeople want really high viewrships , others don't , and are more concerned with high comment counts , in particular on flickr, when i heard Jim fitzpatrick had 4 million views , i gave up ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,081 ✭✭✭sheesh

    1000+ views for this pic of a group of hibbes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,968 ✭✭✭✭phog


    817 views - a group of Thomond RFC kids marching in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Limerick in 2008.

    I suppose having Thomond as a tag may help in getting views.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,459 ✭✭✭Dodgykeeper


    Or kids :(

    I had a pic getting loads of views and then realised that I had in the tags

    A quick shot out my patio door on a cold morning five weeks ago. Yes, that's snow/hail laying there...

    Not that many hits compared to some of yours, just about 25 so far, but that's relatively many for my picasa. I just have my pics up for family and a few friends to see, don't promote it actively anywhere. Although of course there's the odd referral from somewhere - actually 2 of my "fans" just turned up out of nowhere.
    I wanted delete this photo already a few times as I just put it up for documentary reasons ("see, we got snow earlier than you!") but then it got fave'd and I don't want to disappoint the secret admirer...

    This is my most-viewed photo - a pair of chain embellished Burberry wellingtons! Had my camera with me one day in BT and threw a few of the photos up on Flickr. It turns out that there are a lot of shoe-fetish people out there.

    This picture is not particularly odd (but nothing special either, bar the fact that I took it three days after the opening when they had a evacuation), what I find odd is that it get's quite a lot of views due to people searching on flickr for "IKEA Dublin".
    That makes me wonder what they expect to find. Pictures of furniture for sale?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 483 ✭✭9wetfckx43j5rg


    Probably this...

    new_4.jpg

    It got a lot of hits in a photography album online.

    It's a spoon in a sink..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    THis one has over 370 views. I only made it from the original piccie as a pisstake. I guess there are a lot of fans of the film out there :)

    I like it potlatch, it would be absolutely brilliant without those peoples legs in the background imho.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,667 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    This one is one of my highest viewed non TOTD or competition entry ones on pix.ie.

    It's only 300 but that's pretty high for me as I don't get much passing traffic.
